Looks like someone has already applied something or other, (black paint)?.

If its the scrapes to the paint your relating to,rub down and repaint.then apply
Waxoyl,or better still Dinitrol (clear) rust proofing.

in pic 2 there is a gap where water will ingress and cause rust. it needs sealed somehow and undersealed. maybe brazing rather than welding? i dont know much about welding/brazing but would want that sealed up for sure.

Anybody used this stuff


http://www.rust.co.uk/owatrol-oil/p513014#


to get into the seam before I seal it and paint over.

Never come across the stuff, but anything is better than nothing.

Over 30 years using other rust proofing products, i have found Dinitrol has worked best for me!.
